Asian Salad with Tempeh and Edamame

Print

I love asian flavors. The sweet and sour taste added to sesame composed for me the ideal dressing. Tempeh is like tofu: a vegan protein and made with soybeans. It’s perfect if you don’t eat meat or if you want a variation. What I really like about tempeh compared to tofu is the texture. It’s more dense and less soft and watery. You can also find it with multi-grains, which is delicious!

Further Food Commentary:

Similar to the fat content of olive oil, each tablespoon of sesame oil contains 13.6 g of fat, with 1.9 g of saturated fat. Olive oil has a milder taste and is the preferred option for daily cooking while sesame oil's bolder flavor composition is better for Asian stir frys and recipes. Albeit small, pumpkin seeds are nutrition powerhouses, providing manganese, copper, protein and zinc to one's meals. They also contain phytosterols, plant compounds and free radical scavenging antioxidants.
